A milestone in the IDC program

November 28, 2008, is a milestone in the IDC program. It marks the end of phase 2 of the program. By this time, all participants would have presented their PAP. At the presentation on November 27, it was noted that a total 3 participants did not present their PAPs due to unforseen circumstances.

Some of the participants will leave for home either on Saturday or Sunday, November 29th or 30th. However, San Chai, Niwath, and Leena, decided to extend their stay away from their home since the airport in Bangkok is closed.

We bid adieu to everyone and as expected, parting is such sweet sorrow. Everyone is looking forward to meet in Jogjakarta in March 2009.

Nice Weather Today

Hai Friends, How have you been? I am sure we are all now enjoying good times. Some of you now are having a meeting in Vietnam I suppose. Here, in Jogja, the weather is very nice. We had a typhoon ruined some of our facilities in our university but now everything has been maintained well.

This is just to make the blog live again as mentioned by moderator. Yes, I want to have my pen run dry for this blog.

Let me introduce you to the quotation by Carlos Castenada: "All of us, whether or not we are warriors, have a cubic centimeter of chance that pops out in front of our eyes from time to time. The difference between the average person and a warrior is that the warrior is aware of this and stays alert, deliberately waiting, so that when this cubic centimeter pops up, it is picked up."

We're baaaack

Stay tuned as we're baaaack. The Jakarta meeting must have rejuvenated everyone. We are now in Ho Chi Minh City and everyone has been asking about the IDC blog.

So, make your pen run dry by contributing to this blog.

Cheers
